The potential project is still in the very early stages and no deals have been signed just yet, but Lindelof is currently in talks to develop...

HBO's The Leftovers hasn't been everyone's cup of tea, but I've loved the show from the very first episode. Athough it's sad that the series didn't last longer, I'm pleased that the upcoming third and final season will allow The Leftovers to go out on its own terms. Created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta , The Leftovers takes place several years after...

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS is the top grossing...

With the release of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS a mere two days away, J.J. Abrams is taking the opportunity to look back on his previous films. While speaking with Buzzfeed , Abrams spilled some details about MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III, SUPER 8, and STAR TREK, but he was most forthcoming about STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, taking full responsibility for what many call the worst of the Star...

Apologizing for the mistakes of STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS apparently is in vogue lately. First J.J. Abrams admitted that he may have used a few too many WRATH OF KHAN nods in crafting his sequel. Now Damon Lindelof is getting in on the action, copping to one of the problems fans always seem to take issue with - the Khan reveal itself.
In an interview with Variety, Lindelof...

STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS may have received mostly high marks from critics and earned over $460 million worldwide, but many fans of the sci-fi franchise weren't too pleased with the sequel to the 2009 reboot. Director J.J. Abrams has already admitted that they should have been upfront about the real identity of Benedict Cumberbatch 's character, and during a "celebrity...

Ridley Scott certainly enjoys talking about his upcoming sequel to PROMETHEUS, and the director's latest soundbite on the subject includes yet another title change for the film. Per The Playlist , Scott sat down at the AFI Film Festival to discuss his career and naturally, the discussion soon turned to his involvement in the ALIEN franchise. The PROMETHEUS sequel has most...

ALIEN: PARADISE LOST, the upcoming sequel to PROMETHEUS, is aiming to begin production next February, but not without a few revisions to its screenplay. Jack Paglen (TRANSCENDENCE) was originally brought in to pen the sequel's script, after which Michael Green (GREEN LANTERN) was hired to rewrite Paglen's draft. Now Variety reports (spotted by /Film ) that John Logan...

Before Damon Lindelof arrived to rewrite PROMETHEUS, the first script by Jon Spaihts originally contained a lot of ALIEN references which wouldn't surive to the completed film; in fact, Damon Lindelof felt that Spaights' script functioned as more of an ALIEN reboot/prequel which is apparently why he decided to ditch most of those ideas in his rewrite.

You didn't expect ALIEN: PARADISE LOST to revolve solely around Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender 's head, did you?
The two survivors left from PROMETHEUS capped off the last film having launched into space, in the hopes of reaching the Engineers' home planet and getting some answers. But when Ridley Scott picks up their trip in the sequel, which he aims to start shooting in...
